Police seeking Vancouver car-jacking suspect (with video)

A bizarre car jacking in Vancouver have police on the hunt for a suspect. It began when a man carjacked a woman along the Vancouver Burnaby border yesterday.

Vancouver police said this morning they are still seeking the suspect in a car-jacking on Kingsway Tuesday that caused traffic chaos after the stolen car smashed into three parked cars and two buses.

"Our investigators are still trying to determine what exactly happened and the motive behind this rather bizarre incident," VPD Const, Brian Montague said in an emailed response to a request for an update on the investigation.

Police said that at about 4 p.m. Tuesday a woman was forced into her car by a man at Kingsway and Boundary Road.

The suspect allegedly took off with the woman in the passenger seat, crashing into two cars and two buses, and the stolen car finally stopped after smashing into a third car at Tyne Street and 50th Avenue.

The man ran from the scene, and the woman gave chase but lost him a short distance away.

Although a police K-9 unit pursued the suspect, he got away through a local neighbourhood.

The 31-year-old Burnaby woman suffered an injury to her knee and was treated for her injuries.

The suspect is described as a white, in his 30's, 5 feet, eight inches tall, with a skinny build and a shaved head. He was wearing a striped cream-coloured shirt, black pants and possibly an orange or yellow jacket.
